Let's see... Heaving breasts. Dripping, phallic tentacles pointed right at the woman, fire, flame, death, and destruction.
They'll make a mint on this thing. ;D
I see this is another one set in the USA, what with the NYC skyline in the background.

[glow=red,2,300]Gerkinman, its not nice to refer to an entire nationality as stupid, especially as they are the 2nd most common nationality on these boards including several (high IQ) friends of mine. (besides its against the rules). Sure I've met stupid Americans who do think their nation invented everything, but I've also met Scottsman who feel the same way (and I'm part Scottish). People of such ilk are universally present in all cultures and its not right to tar everyone in a nation with the same brush. [/glow]

You Mess-Up, a Scotsman invented the TV (Logie Baird), an Englishman invented the WWW, and you're speaking (or attempting to) our mother f**king tongue.

WAS invented here, it started as a network connection between military command computers in America, as a way to maintain control in the case of a nuclear attack, and it evolved from there. and just to be sure, Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Farnsworth, both Americans, are credited with inventing the TV. and who cares what tongue we Americans speak? its not like you brits invented it, you patched it together out of all of the languages of the kingdoms that conquered you over and over in the middle ages

*looks at comic* Hm. Somehow I don't recall WOTW ever looking so sexy. Wait, there's a tripod? ;D Anyway, yeah...it's not only the non-Americans who think American media is lame. A lot of us do too...it's gossip, stars, glam...that's not what America is like. I'm offended by some of the stuff that's come up for War of the Worlds in the past...the upgrades...the "raping" of the original material so to say. But lets not forget some of the horrendous designs presented years ago by non-Americans. It's not just Americans who get WOTW wrong...I'm sure there's people all over this earth who don't know what the heck we're talking about. WOTW is something the entire nation can misunderstand. ;D Our knowledge and faith to Wells and his books just make us all the more intelligent and a great community diverse with different people. And one thing we can all enjoy...freedom...freedom to worship victorian science fiction classics and paint little tripod models and argue over movies. All in all, yeah that comic book cover is lame.

You Mess-Up, a Scotsman invented the TV (Logie Baird), an Englishman invented the WWW, and you're speaking (or attempting to) our mother f**king tongue. Which the French and the Vikings gave you a hand in developing... And the French at least got help from the Romans, who got help from the Greeks, who got it from the Minoans, and so on back to that little group of ice age surviovrs somewhere in Africa, Everyone has had their share of sucesses, and -screw-ups- which when you look at it is what WOTW is about... Lets just -get over it- WOTW is about it's themes, of the top dog gettin put in his place, as history shifts around, I'm sure future versions will be set in China, or India, or Africa or God knows where...

You speak our language/destroy our language and poison the tongues of our children with it through television. You shouldn't call it English, but Americanism. And calling Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Farnsworth American is funny. They are more like American Citizens. It is funny how easy it is to become an American citizen when you have a certain skill that the Americans think they need!
